Can I drive in Athens with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hired a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car hire website before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hired car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
